New Publication Requirements
/DocumentCenter/View/3425/Ord-21-3409
Effective July 1, 2012, municipalities in the State of Kansas are allowed to publish summaries of ordinances in their official newspapers instead of publishing ordinances in their entirety, provided that certain requirements are met.
Per HB 2166, a certified summary of an ordinance is to be published in the official newspaper following its adoption by the Governing Body, but prior to its effective date. The summary must be certified by the City Attorney that it is legally accurate and sufficient. The summary must also contain the website where the public will be able to access a copy of the original ordinance for a minimum of one week following the publication of the summary. The summary must also state whether the ordinance is subject to a protest petition. Charter ordinances may not be published in summary form.
The City of Abilene will post all new ordinances and resolutions on this section of the City’s website for public viewing. Copies of original ordinances published in summary form will be provided to the public at no charge; resolutions and ordinances not published in summary form are subject to charges per the City’s Comprehensive Fee Schedule (PDF). Copies of original ordinances or resolutions are available during business hours at City Hall located at 419 N. Broadway Street in Abilene, Kansas.
The City of Abilene must annually designate its official newspaper for publication purposes; the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle is designated the official newspaper of the City of Abilene.
The City Commission has approved the following resolutions and ordinances:

Resolutions are less formal acts taken by the City Commission. Generally, a resolution is used instead of an ordinance when so required by state law, when the formality of permanency of an ordinance is not required, when a separately written record is advisable, or when there is a doubt that a simple motion that is recorded in the minutes is sufficient. Most resolutions, unlike ordinances, do not have to be published in the official newspaper to become effective.

Ordinances are the most formal acts taken by the City Commission and have the full force and effect of law. Appropriation ordinances are ordinances used by some cities to authorize the payment of claims. Special ordinances are passed for a single special purpose and lose their force when the purpose for which they were passed is accomplished (i.e., an ordinance calling a special election spends its force when the election is held). General ordinances comprise the body of local law that governs the management of local affairs, the conduct of persons, the use of property, and other matters on which the City exercises its powers. Charter ordinances allow a city to exempt itself from state law in certain circumstances.
The City Commission has approved the following ordinances:
